Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Red Bull Racing Success Story
CFD Abstract (English), (French)
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the technology of choice for solving problems involving fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and chemical reactions. The highly sophisticated calculations of CFD simulation allow users to visualize the dynamics of flow within a complex system. CFD is a vital tool of the computer-aided engineering process for nearly every manufacturing industry today.
As a simulation tool, CFD predicts what will happen under a given set of circumstances, answering many “what if” questions quickly. Understanding the characteristics of fluid flow associated with a product or processes gives enormous insight into improving product and process performance; assists in troubleshooting problems; and provides significant opportunity for improved design and innovation. The foresight gained from CFD can provide a rapid and cost-effective evaluation and an optimization of the design process.
Dataram memory helps users realize the full potential of their CFD applications. Today's computational-intensive CFD software requires high-performance computing environments. Many of these applications provide support from design analysis through animation, particle tracking, data graphs and sophisticated raster and vector style plotting. Memory plays a significant role in the overall speed, power and performance of advanced workstations and servers running complex CFD applications. While graphics and processor speed are important, memory capacity can actually deliver greater performance gains – clearly becoming the ultimate time-to-market solution delivering the maximum return on investment.
Dataram is the proven leader in providing reliable memory products that “supercharge” your computing power and enable CFD these applications to operate at maximum capacity. The complexity of variables within a CFD simulation inevitably produces larger datasets, requiring greater horsepower from your server or workstation. The system’s capability to handle and quickly process such datasets is a direct result of the amount of system memory – and the most cost-effective way to optimize simulation performance is to maximize the system’s memory capacity.
Dataram’s memory products are tested and optimized to operate in all leading brands of workstations, PCs and supercomputers, including HP, Sun Microsystems, IBM, and Dell, as well as platforms with architecture from Intel or AMD. By upgrading your CFD servers and workstations to the maximum memory configuration possible, performance and productivity are greatly enhanced by shortening the design cycle and reducing overall time to market.
For more than 40 years, Dataram provided memory products which deliver superior performance while significantly reducing related expenditures. One of our memory specialists can help you select the right memory solution for your CFD applications, including some options not available from the system manufacturer.
